Attention, animal lovers. Two new clouded leopard cubs at the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium in Tacoma need names.

This isn’t some kind of naming free-for-all where you can name them Bud or Sandy or Pelican Pete. (Whoa! “Flipper” flashback there.) The zoo has offered up a choice of names for the public to vote on — all of them native to the cubs’ native Southeast Asia. They’re a little intimidating to pronounce, so the zoo includes the phonetic spelling and the names’ meaning.

Take a look at the future Mr. Big Belly and Ms. Backwards — and at these other adorable zoo babies we’ve helped name.

The Woodland Park Zoo is getting a few extra-cute additions as part of its new new Malayan tiger and sloth bear exhibits — and they’re not Malayan tigers or sloth bears. (But I can see how you’d think that.)

“We wanted to do all things space and Seattle is famous for the Space Needle,” Angry Birds creator Peter Vesterback told KING 5. “So that’s why we’re here.”

Consumer Reports thinks Issaquah-based Costco makes some of the best bagels out there. This is understandably very upsetting to New Yorkers, who seem to think it’s just a lump of boiled bread unless it comes from one of the five boroughs. …

There’s something about this video that’s unsettling. Maybe it’s bungee jumping in general, or maybe it’s the moment when this woman’s friends hoist her wheelchair into the air and toss her over the railing.

Or maybe it’s how much she seems to enjoy her wild ride.

This video was taken it Whistler, B.C., part of an outing with the Canadian organization 9Lives Adventures. The group has a special system for wheelchair-bound bungee jumpers, and this unidentified woman said she wants to try it again.
